Consumer Packaged Goods for Distributors and Manufacturers
The highly competitive Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry faces unique and complex challenges. To be successful, all areas of your business need to be optimized and operating at the most efficient level possible. There is simply no room for error. High volumes, low margins, evolving distribution networks and high product turnover have to be carefully monitored and tightly managed or you may quickly find your profits eroding and your customers disappearing.
The "Dynamic CPG" solution from Collins Computing is specifically designed for CPG organizations like yours to optimize profitability, increase efficiencies and provide visibility across operations. Dynamic CPG is a powerful end-to-end solution for the Consumer Packaged Goods market, built on the market leading Microsoft Dynamics™ AX solution set, and recognized by Gartner as the market leader in the mid-market.
- High volumes — As CPGs are generally low priced items in high demand, forecasting, planning and an extremely well-managed inventory are paramount. Inefficiencies in purchasing, invoicing, shipping or receiving can quickly be disastrous. Collins Computing's Dynamic CPG integrates demand forecasting and planning, warehouse management, order management, and supply chain management to optimize your ability to supply the high volumes required as efficiently as possible.
- Low margins — Intense price stress at the retail level puts pressure on manufacturers and distributors and leads to smaller margins. Dynamic CPG gives you in-depth landed cost analysis and monitoring that is critical to ensure that your profits are maximized.
- Extensive and evolving distribution networks — Manufacturers have historically used wholesale distributors to distribute products but alternatives such as mail order, catalogue sales, and direct sales have started to bypass the traditional distribution channels altogether. This is forcing distributors to add value to their services in order to retain customers. Customer relationship management is more vital than ever. Dynamic CPG empowers your customer relationship management and handles rebates and royalties with ease. Electronic data interface (EDI) capabilities allow you to integrate with suppliers and customers to automate transactions, saving you both time and money.
- High product turnover — Due to high consumer demand or rapid product deterioration, CPG organizations need to have product life cycles well planned and monitored to avoid stock outages or waste. Dynamic CPG can assist you with product life cycle management and SKU optimization through detailed analysis tools that give you the insight required to make strategic decisions.
